Abstract

A system and a method for controlling logistics transportation includes a control server to transmit position information of a trailer to an autonomous tractor, and a trailer managing device to receive information on an identification of the autonomous tractor from the control server and to open a door of a warehouse corresponding to the position information of the trailer, when information on an identification of an autonomous tractor, which is extracted from a surrounding image of the warehouse corresponding to the position information of the trailer is matched with the received information on the identification of the autonomous tractor.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
       1. A system for controlling logistics transportation, the system comprising: a control server configured to transmit position information of a trailer to a first autonomous tractor; and a trailer managing device configured to i receive information on an identification of the first autonomous tractor from the control server; extract information on an identification of a second autonomous tractor from a surrounding image of a warehouse corresponding to the position information of the trailer and open a door of the warehouse when the extracted information on the identification of the second autonomous tractor is matched with the received information on the identification of the first autonomous tractor wherein the control server is further configured to: periodically receive the information on the identification of the second autonomous tractor from the trailer managing device; and warn a manager, when the second autonomous tractor turns around the warehouse. 
     
     
       2. The system of  claim 1 , wherein the control server is configured to manage the position information of the trailer, and to manage the information on the identification of the first autonomous tractor, which is matched with the position information of the trailer. 
     
     
       3. The system of  claim 1 , wherein the control server is configured to: receive information on a position of the first autonomous tractor; and transmit the position information of the trailer to the first autonomous tractor, when the first autonomous tractor is adjacent to the warehouse. 
     
     
       4. The system of  claim 1 , wherein the control server is configured to: encrypt the position information of the trailer to transmit the encrypted position information of the trailer to the first autonomous tractor; and encrypt the information on the identification of the first autonomous tractor to transmit the encrypted information on the identification of the first autonomous tractor to the trailer managing device. 
     
     
       5. The system of  claim 1 , wherein the control server is configured to: periodically receive the information on the identification of the second autonomous tractor, from the trailer managing device; and warn the manager, when the second autonomous tractor stands by around the ware house for a predetermined time period. 
     
     
       6. The system of  claim 1 , wherein the trailer managing device is configured to: decrypt an encrypted information on the identification of the first autonomous tractor, when receiving the encrypted information on the identification of the first autonomous tractor from the control server. 
     
     
       7. The system of  claim 1 , wherein the trailer managing device is configured to transmit the extracted information on the identification of the second autonomous tractor to the control server. 
     
     
       8. The system of  claim 1 , wherein the first autonomous tractor is configured to transmit information on a position of the first autonomous tractor to the control server. 
     
     
       9. The system of  claim 1 , wherein the first autonomous tractor is configured to decrypt an encrypted position information, when receiving the encrypted position information from the control server. 
     
     
       10. The system of  claim 9 , wherein the first autonomous tractor is configured to display the encrypted position information. 
     
     
       11. A method for controlling logistics transportation, the method comprising: transmitting, by a control server, position information of a trailer to a first autonomous tractor; receiving, by a trailer managing device, information on an identification of the first autonomous tractor from the control server; extracting, by the trailer managing device, information on an identification of a second autonomous tractor from a surrounding image of a warehouse corresponding to the position information of the trailer; opening, by the trailer managing device, a door of the warehouse when the extracted information on the identification of the second autonomous tractor is matched with the received information on the identification of the first autonomous tractor; periodically receiving, by the control server, the information on the identification of the second autonomous tractor, from the trailer managing device; and warning, by the control server, a manager when the second autonomous tractor turns around the ware house. 
     
     
       12. The method of  claim 11 , wherein the transmitting of the position information of the trailer to the autonomous tractor includes: managing the position information of the trailer on the warehouse in which the trailer is positioned; and managing the information on the identification of the first autonomous tractor, which is matched with the position information of the trailer. 
     
     
       13. The method of  claim 11 , wherein the transmitting of the position information of the trailer to the autonomous tractor includes: receiving information on a position of the first autonomous tractor; and transmitting, to the first autonomous tractor, the position information of the trailer, when the first autonomous tractor is adjacent to the warehouse. 
     
     
       14. The method of  claim 11  further including: periodically receiving, by the control server, the information on the identification of the second autonomous tractor, from the trailer managing device; and warning, by the control server, the manager, when the second autonomous tractor stands by around the warehouse for a predetermined time period. 
     
     
       15. The method of  claim 11 , wherein the extracting of the information on the identification of the second autonomous tractor includes: periodically transmitting the extracted information on the identification of the second autonomous tractor to the control server. 
     
     
       16. The method of  claim 11  further including: displaying, by the first autonomous tractor, the position information of the trailer received from the control server.
